@AlicejustMay@thisismymistake - at first glance a solid and fair point. Nonetheless her casual disregard for authority paved the way for you to steal 2 extra with a clean conscience. That places you just one rung down the girl in question. Joint second with your fellow 'jammy dodgers': @Bukowski and @MyBlueElephant :0)
@jonnyneale5 It was indeed 13 (London Grammar fell through the cracks iirc), and as much as I want to give the girl in question credit it's been my MO for years (2013 -> 13 albums in my top ten...). Which just shows that with 16 albums in her top ten, @AlicejustMay is justWay ahead of her time...
@MyBlueElephant@silvershroud@Niels_Footman I'm not a well equipped human for compliments - the typical symptomatic response involves blushing and sudden interest in my own shoes. Nonetheless, I am always deep down grateful and surprised. I'm a hedonist and I'm just having fun with language and TIMJ - I love both - I've never felt good enough to write for money. TBH I was a bit embarrassed by the alliteration. BUT thanks so much for your kind words *staring at my toes*
@thisismymistake@Niels_Footman@silvershroud@MyBlueElephant I have to tell someone this - I just got woke up after 4 hrs sleep after the greatest gig(s) of my whole life. 6 hrs of queuing to see Prince at Koko. 2 hrs of overwhelming showmanship. The best stage presence & guitar/piano work I have ever witnessed. Then kicked out but straight back into the queue for 2 more hours of the same. £140 just on tickets. The wisest money ever spent. Can't stop grinning. :)))))))))
@jonnyneale5 And you won't recover easily, ah! ;)) So happy for you!!! I'm still "ill" since I saw him for the first time in 1987 (one of the greatest gig of my life). But if you want to talk about it more easily, ask @TBBYNH (he was there too!!!)

You're doing a sterling job, DJ Chemist. Excellent introductions.

@AlicejustMay thanks wenchcat - sorry for the shameless alliteration. Big day tomorrow - queuing all day for Prince tickets, I shall be. :D

@jonnyneale5 Not everyone can pull an @AlicejustMay and nominate 16 albums for their top ten...

Niels_Footman
beautifully written blurb, @jonnyneale5. Do you do that for a living, by any chance?
silvershroud
Not only do you have impeccable taste, sir, but you also have an admirable aptitude for alliteration!
MyBlueElephant
You're definitely the one who assimilate TIMJ the better way : collect, summarize, give back with class. Bravo!

TBBYNH
I was! Just the first show for me, but that was enough - face-melting guitar solos and a raft of hits; couldn't have asked for more really :)
thisismymistake
@jonnyneale5 @TBBYNH That's what live music is about! :) Glad the (double) wait in line paid off...
